Lesson Plan andrew d
Lesson Title:Review and Calvin Cycle
State Standards: GLEs/GSEs
4a
diagramming the energy flow in an ecosystem that compares the energy at different trophic levels.
(e.g. What inferences can you make about energy “loss”& use?).
4b
explaining how the chemical elements and compounds that make up living things pass through food webs and are combined and recombined in different ways(e.g. nitrogen, carbon cycles, O2, & H2O cycles).
National Standards:
Context of Lesson:
The main focus of this lesson is for me to review effectively what they have learned so far. Once the review is over I will start the second section by going over the Calvin cycle. some of the topics in this section I have already gone over in the first Lecture when we went over what we ended up with at the end of photosynthesis by looking at the equations for photosynthesis and respiration. The Lab on Photosynthesis that we will go over is not very difficult so I will hand out the lab and briefly go over it at the end of class. Some of the key ideas we will do during the time we discuss Calvin cycle will be Carbon fixation, steps in the calvin cycle, and the equation for photosynthesis. Overview of lesson, including: where it fits in unit, what are key ideas and what will students be doing.
Opportunities to Learn:
Depth of Knowledge
Webb's DOK- Level 1 Recall and Reproduction
This lesson involves the end of the first section with a review, and the beginning of the second section by first going over Carbon fixation by the Calvin Cycle. I will be anxious to see whether having the review after the first section helps students or is a waste of time. This class will be the first time I get to introduce a lab so this will give me a good indication of what students abilities are to analyze and make assumptions by using what they have learned.
Prerequisite Knowledge
What is created by Photosynthesis
Plans for Differentiating Instruction
In order to help students I will give some students a paper outlining what I will go over in the review so they can write any extra information they want right on the sheet and not worry about writing down what I do on the board.
Accommodations and modifications
Environmental factors
Materials
Dry erase board
Lab hand outs
Objectives:
Review first section
Start Calvin Cycle
Discuss Lab
Instruction:
Opening/Engagement:
To begin this class I will ask the students many different review questions and we will go around discussing them and hopefully clearing up the points that students may be confused about. I will have a sheet of the different misconceptions students have on the different topics so I can touch on all of them. I'm assuming their will be confusion because photosynthesis is not easy, but the amount of time the class will need to review the first section I do not know. To make sure this is a valuable experience I expect students to take notes or make changes in their note books. If the review does not take the whole class we will begin the Calvin cycle. In the first lesson we covered some of the information seen in the Calvin Cycle section so it would be nice if things like the formula for photosynthesis can be drawn on the board etc.
Closure:
To wrap up the class we will summarize the information learned on the Calvin Cycle and I will also hand out the lab for the next day. The procedure and lab are not hard, but one thing I would like them to do is make a hypothesis about what they think will happen in the lab. I want the hypothesis done for homework because I students to go back and be able to say why they were right or wrong and what their results meant.
Assessment:
Students will have to write hypothesis that will be due next class dealing with the lab they will be doing.
